Since I don't hear this argument too often, I image Clojure is
striking an acceptable balance. What does everyone else think?
Totally agree.
See for example the extreme brevity of names in arc (Paul Graham's
hundred year language). Reading code in arc is very hard.
Longer names, like
I've followed the straightforward instructions that BC put together:

It worked flawlessly under Linux. I have lispbox installed on a
windows machine and have been trying to get it to work on that
platform as well. Emacs + slime + clisp does work.

I may be missing some philosophical significance of the name
function, but is there any reason why it can't work on Strings as
well as Named-s?
user= (name :foo)
foo
user= (name foo)
foo
This would clean up conditionals I have scattered about where I
normalize heterogeneous collections of

If you did choose to go the static-HTML route, then you could export a

I strongly prefer short names for frequently used functions/macros.
Short names often let you avoid to break a line of code, but they
could be quite cryptic. If they're used often, their meaning will
become obvious with time. It's not a problem if it's not

Perhaps one way to do that would be to have a higher-order doc function,
that replied with keywords belonging to it. For example, a mock-up call
for Maps:

Maps are this and that, and can be manipulated with:

I'd say create your own (stringish? ...)
Yep, I'm going that route. Thanks

Sounds like you're wasting your time trying to get this working with
just static HTML pages. I think that it's possible, but you would

That's great, thanks!

In Common Lisp and Scheme, if you have an expression that evaluates a
symbol, it doesn't evaluate it until you call the function, not when
